The Idiotic Billionaire novel Chapter 9

"Well, Clara was the love of Cainan's life and everyone knew it but she suddenly broke things off for strange reasons and married Hugo when the Inferno group was just emerging. Their anniversary party invitation has always been sent to Cainan for the past five years, but he has always chosen not to any of them and I know this because I was his secretary. But from the rumours I'm hearing, it looks like he'll be going to the party this time around and we are going to be there as well."

She hooks her arms around his and laid her head on his arm and walk away, "I guess we should go prepare then."

One hour and thirty minutes later, there comes a knock on Neriah's door and putting on her last piece of jewellery, she walks to the door and as she opens the door, she's greeted by one of the most sophisticated men she's ever seen and she smiles at him. He is wearing a navy blue suit, black tie and black shoe. His hair is combed and parted at the side giving his face an even rare touch of perfection.

"You look amazing, Shawn, never thought you could look better, but you do look better than I expect." She gushes helplessly, "Hope I'm not a letdown, I sewed the lace gown last year, but never got to wear it because there was no special event to go."

The dress is a slim, red lacy gown with a see-through long sleeve. It seems to hold Neriah just right where it needs to, she's also wearing three-inch stiletto heels bringing her five feet four self to five feet seven which is still not close to Shawn who is six feet tall. There are memories Shawn knows will not be taken away from him and the memory of her now happens to be one of them.

He doesn't say anything, just put his arms around her waist and pull her closer, greeting her lips with his. She pulls back with a shy smile, "What was that for?"

"You look astonishing, breathtakingly beautiful if I might also add. This gown hugs you in all the right places." He blurts out, unable to help himself.

She grins and twirls her hair between her fingers, "Thank you."

"Those rich bastards won't know what hit them and oh I got us our invitation card," he says as he put his hand in his suit pocket and shows it to her.

She gives him a disbelieving look "I forgot we are going to crash a rich man's party, how did you get that?"

There's a cocky smile at the side of his mouth, "Not going to tell you all my secrets. All you need to know is I used to be Cainan's secretary so I kinda know things."

"You are a fraud, Shawn Ola, but I won't have you any other way."

"I'm glad you won't, darling, are we ready to go??"

She nods, and picks her purse up from the table, "Thanks for this, you didn't have to get involved, but you chose to."

He suppresses a grin, "Anything for my girlfriend." He takes her hand and leads her out of the house.

The twenty-three minutes drive completely exhausts Neriah because of her never-ending motion sickness, but as their car comes to a stop in front of the Sheraton hotels and towers, the exhaustion disappeared. She doesn't know how long she had stopped to stare until she feels an arm around her waist, and she feels herself being hauled towards the warm body she knows belongs to Shawn.

"Someday soon we will not have to strive so much to get what we want." He whispers into her ears.l

She places her head on Shawn's shoulder and sighs heavily. "Someday, we will rule the world."
